Originally created by @roney492 on GitHub (Jun 21, 2024).

Describe the problem

The new DNS routes feature in NetBird is not working as expected. Sites that are supposed to be routed through specified Network routes either timeout in browser or as routed directly ie via original IP instead of the expected peer.

This was tested using "whatsmyip.com" with a routing peer on windows machines.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Configure DNS routes in NetBird for domains such as "whatismyipaddress.com" and "www.whatismyip.com".
  2. Set it to route though a routing peer.
  3. Open a browser (e.g., Chrome) and navigate to "whatismyipaddress.com" or "www.whatismyip.com".
  4. Observe that the browser either times out or displays the original IP on "whatsmyip.com".

Expected behavior
Traffic to specified domains (e.g.,"whatismyipaddress.com" or "www.whatismyip.com") should be routed through the designated peer, resulting in the correct routed IP.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?
No, Self hosted.

NetBird version
0.28.2

Additional Info
This works well with IP routing, only with DNS routing its failing.

Hi @roney492,

can you provide a netbird status -d and netbird routes ls please?

Please consider that www.whatismyip.com and whatismyip.com are separate domains and might need to be added both, especially if one redirects to another. Also whatsmyip.com (missing an i) is different. Which one have you tested?

The browser might query different (sub)domains in the background that are not visible. E.g. whatismyip.com also queries api.whatismyip.com

Have you updated the routing peer to >=0.28.0 as well?
